>tfw you realize your IQ is so high that you've been playing every Pokemon game feeling like they have the same difficulty as XY, when in reality everyone else actually finds the older games challenging
how do I enjoy the single player campaign of pokemon games, bros?

>>57907483 (OP)
Nuzlocke or something idk. Take on rules that fuck you up. Maybe play a difficulty romhack like kaizo.

lower iq via head injury
drugs/booze might work too

If they're all the same why do you hate Gen 5 so much?

>>57907493

>>57907504
I'm sure he means normal lance but rematch lance is a beast

>>57907483 (OP)
Try doing a nuzlocke or some other kind of self-made rules
Learn glitches and RNG manipulation to make teams for battle facilities
Difficulty romhacks
Ribbon master run
'100%' a game by getting 1 of each obtainable item, facility symbol/print, decoration, etc.

i have zero idea where the "you HAVE to grind to the same level as your opponent" mentality comes from. after a certain point bringing new captures up to your team's level is fucking asscheeks thanks to low wild mon levels but you can absolutely win battles in any RPG being a few levels under, hell half the time big RPG boss fights ARE higher level than your team, that's why they're the boss. this isn't even mentioning that unless you're doing a solo challenge you've likely got the numbers advantage, so of course you're gonna be a few levels lower.
it's optimal for nuzlockes or other challenge runs where you wanna play it as safe as possible but if you're doing a casual playthrough who gives a shit

>>57908741
>you're supposed to be the same level as the gym leader's ace
>you're supposed to level every team member equally
>you're supposed to use the same 6 pokemon
>you're supposed to have no types overlap
>you're supposed to have perfect move coverage
>you're supposed to not use pokemon the game hands you
>you're supposed to never use items in battle

>>57907504
Yawnfag had constant meltdowns over this image until Lewtwo said he was enjoying his XY playthrough. What a faggot, just goes to show all your bitching ultimately boils down to XY not being popular on /vp/ compared to other games.

>>57908819
>>you're supposed to level every team member equally
i do this in casual runs but mostly out of autism/weird sense of guilt

>>57908741
>i have zero idea where the "you HAVE to grind to the same level as your opponent" mentality comes from
it's just people who are terrible at the games and have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the mechanics work

these same people screech about gen 6+ exp share being broken

>>57907483 (OP)
>everyone else actually finds the older games challenging
p sure every pokemon game can be beaten by dumbass kids who do nothing but use their starters with only attack moves

>>57908645
>picrel
>youtubers complain level curve makes them bad for their challenge run content farm
>most youtubers nowadays cheat levels for their challenge runs anyway
Make it make sense

>>57908819
>>you're supposed to level every team member equally
If you dont have your ace 1+ levels higher and 2 other random mons 1~2 levels lower than your average, you're not a real Pokemon trainer.

>>57910371
all my team are aces

>>57910435
Oh yea? How many of em actually know Aerial Ace?

>>57910348
Those same people love the exp share because it removes grinding entirely retard.

>>57908947
yeah i'm not really sure why that was in that anon's greentext. maybe exactly equal levels is a bit autistic but i don't see what's wrong with wanting your team to be close to each other in terms of levels, just means you like keeping your setup balanced which is fine

>>57910581
this. I give all my pokemon perfectly balanced 84/84/84/84/84/84 EVs. Why would anyone ever want to min/max? I am good at pokemon games btw

>>57910589
A person that manages that would be pretty good at the games yeah.

>>57907483 (OP)
Anyone who mentions their IQ is trying to compensate for something

>>57910601
I'm compensating for not being able to enjoy the campaign of pokemon games

>>57910601
Ironically it's his low IQ he's compensating for.

>>57907483 (OP)
Give yourself a lobotomy. Works on my machine!

>>57908645
you know usually when a post that isn't a massive GET has a fuckton of replies, it's because everyone is calling the poster a retard
